YouTube's New Interface

"On YouTube video always comes first, and with this new design the site gets out of the way and lets content truly shine. Videos are now at the top of the page, with title and social actions below. Also, playlists have been moved up, so you can easily browse through videos while you watch. Now when you subscribe to your favorite channels, we will add them to your Guide and make them available on every page of the site, and on your mobile device, tablet, and TV," explains YouTube.

The guide is actually a sidebar that's now available on every YouTube page and lets you check your subscriptions, your playlists and the video history. You can also see a list of other videos from the previous page, so you can quickly watch another search result, a different video from the same channel or another video from the homepage.

Google you are the most terrible company I have ever seen, you have ruined what used to be "YouTube" the new designs you make are complete shite, I hope you are going to look at our feedback, greedy rich bastards.

The new design looks clean, good and elegant, but the Google team is making the same mistake over and over again: too much white.

Pictures and videos should not be surrounded by so much white and light colors, because it distract the user of the media content. It's like watching a movie in the cinema with all the lights of the room on.

Youtube should be a dark page (maybe dark gray) and leave the terrible bad idea of make it so white.

A few months ago yt tested out their "lights out" feature in all YouTube videos, which would dim the entire page into dark grey or black. It was perfect Thomas but short lived.

The next day Lights Out was gone. It was too good for it's users, our eyesight and our brains and removed it so now we have this horrid white glare that is exactly like snow blindness and probably doing the same damage to eyesight. AquarielCharm

I kind of like the new YouTube layout except for 2 things: The homepage defaults to What to watch and I'd rather have My subscriptions be the default and there's just too much white space on the right side of all page because it looks like the site is now left-aligned.

So far those are the only two things I can say that I don't like and what it changed, but the look is nice.

Obviously we are stuck with the new design, which is pretty annoying. But you can use extensions for your browser to increase the default player size and what not.

My biggest annoyance is with the homepage 'what to watch.' Recommended videos aren't highlighted easily, are chosen not very well (from popular channels i don't want to be recommended a video a year+ old). There should be options for recommended videos (don't show, show from channels less/ most viewed) so people who don't like don't have to click 'my subscriptions' every time.

These so called improvements is some of the worst yet.Mixing Recommendations and Subscriptions is only creating an inefficient way of finding your subscribed videos, I don't want to scroll down 10 recommendations to get to a subscription video, if it now even is the latest sub vid in the list as sometimes you can have a vid from 5 days ago that you have already watched on top with newer vids that you have not seen yet below. Where is the logic in that?"In this new layout, you’ll find the most crucial elements are front and center" The most crucial should be the video and it is not in the center, plz move it back to the center.

I love this new player. It's so awesome! But whenever i hit the "Full screen" button, it stays focused, so if i press Space to pause/play a movie while in full screen, it just gets me out of full screen, instead of pausing. What to do?

What about coding some true new functionnalities? In years they haven't bring anything new to the table.

The "Watch later" one is getting worse. Impossible to manage your list easily and correctly, you have to remember the precise list of videos you've already seen when you're finally able to remove some of those...

ugh i HATE HATE HATE the new design! it's completely confusing and looks horrible! I am so pissed off right now :( i want the old youtube back! they should really give us a chance to choose which lay out we want. I know which one i would choose... SERIOUSLY, WHO CAME UP WITH THIS CRAP?!?! i'm not usually a fan of 'hate mail' posts but i just... arghhsddflkfjl :( youtube, you've disappointed me.

It sucks and everyone hates it. It's not 1992 anymore, we have browser windows wider than 800 pixels, let's use some of them. Also you broke better loopy again with your new player that adds no features and doesn't do anything different.

This is horrible. What were the actual goals given to designers? They've moved my ability to take a subscription to email me with updates. Can't access it from the channel page, or any of the video pages. Why? Why did this get removed? I have to click about five times to go into my subscriptions and scroll through all my subscriptions to check a box. Why? How could this be better than hovering over the subscribe button (on any video of the channel or the channel itself) until the two checkboxes appeared?

You are the group of stupid trolls. I HATE THIS NEW LAYOUT!!! No more original main page, the random videos scrambled with ones from subscribing, and comments? Possibly someone gonna have a scary face as avatar, and think: Person which see avatar like that will have nightmares, problem with psychic and maybe going to murder himself. And who could be a man which caused this? YOU! YOU! ALL OF THE YOUTUBE WORKERS!!! BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT I THE ASS! YOU DON'T CARE!!! YOU LITTLE SNEAKY BASTARDS!!!

This new interface stinks, my young son would spend hours on the older app and now I am trying to revert it because the options "similar to" videos on the right are minimal. They might have optimized it for subscription usage but it is vastly inferior and less aesthetic to me and my way of using the app.

I want the option to return to the way YT was before this latest UI update. I no longer have recommended videos on the right, now it is recommended channels and mostly not really interested in trying to sort through a lot of channels vids trying to find something interesting. The pre-update style of having a list of recommended videos worked very well. Most were always something that inerested me and I would watch many of them. It worked very well matching me up with videos that suited my viewing habits. The new layout really can't match that.Please give us the option to use the old interface with all the features that were included with it. Thank youButch
